Norfolk is famed for the Broads, but some of the county's most interesting beauty spots can be found in the west. Here are five walks to do in West Norfolk which will reveal the true beauty of the entire county.

1. The North Norfolk coast is the understated haunt of the social elite. One way to experience the scenery which draws people from all over the country, and even the world, is a walk from Thornham, a little village on the coast, through Holme down to Hunstanton.

Here you can wind through the greenery of the dunes on a purposefully built boardwalk and see Hunstanton's famous three toned cliffs come into view as you approach the town.

Best begun in the late afternoon and finished as the sun sets.

2. If you feel like a challenge, how about the entire Peddar's Way walk?

The route begins at Knettishall Heath Country Park, near Thetford, and ends at Cromer.

Due to its extensive length of nearly 100 miles, the track takes you through many different variations of Norfolk's scenery and eventually along the coast.

Walk through the vibrant heather of the Brecks and traipse the Roman road to Holme where you can take in the sea air to Cromer. If not so brave, any part of it will provide something beautiful.

3. The Bawsey Pits are a hidden gem in West Norfolk.

An area of woodland, sand and lakes, this is a photographer's dream. Avoid swimming in the deep lakes but sit at their edges with a tasty picnic. At its highest point, you can see the tallest buildings in King's Lynn on a clear day.

Although a little walk along a farm, don't forget to check out the Bawsey Ruins, the church remnants of a medieval village. From here, walk along the Gaywood River back into King's Lynn where you can grab a coffee and chill.

4. Sandringham is famous for being one of the Queen's residences, but that's not all it has to offer.

Choose from three different trails through the woodland: one, two or five miles which are all conveniently signposted. The paths are wide and pruned enough to accommodate families and provide a stress-relief walk. Grab a well-deserved ice-cream at the end!

5. Castle Acre is a quaint little village with both castle and abbey ruins. Explore the church and take in some history before visiting both the abbey and the castle at separate ends of the village.

Take some sturdy shoes, it gets very steep! The abbey also carries an admission fee.

These five walks will offer you some of the best of West Norfolk. Take a picnic and enjoy the views. More information about walks in Norfolk can be found here.
